During a recent interview, Adam Klasfeld raised red flags over Jay Clayton, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, because of his constant appearances on CNBC. Clayton “sowed doubt” over the California elections, but that wasn’t all the stunned Klasfeld, who’s been a court reporter for the past two decades.<\/p>\n

“I have never seen a U.S. attorney engage in political commentary on cable, period,” Klasfeld said. “And he is now a regular fixture, Jay Clayton, on Squawk Box on CNBC, where he spouts off pro-Trump talking points regularly.”<\/p>\n

In addition to bringing up unfounded fraud concerns around the California elections, Clayton has also talked about how Trump was wronged in criminal prosecutions against him, defended the $1.776 billion slush fund, and engaged in “soft election denialism,” Klasfeld said.<\/p>\n

Michael Popok, a former prosecutor and the host of Legal AF, added to Klasfeld’s observations. Popok noted that Clayton “is a very close friend and always has been with Howard Lutnick,” Trump’s commerce secretary, who’s been questioned about his ties to Epstein.<\/p>\n

Clayton is also a “golfing buddy” with Lutnick and Trump, according to Popok, adding that his purpose is to make the Southern District of New York look good under Trump.<\/p>\n

“When you see him on television, he looks like he’s from central casting,” Popok said about Clayton. “His sole purpose is to give a veneer of credibility, and to restore some credibility to that office while continuing to be a political hatchet man.”<\/p>\n
